Description
Do not worry about not smiling.ΒMy mouth hardly ever smiles
but it does not mean
I am not smiling inside my brain.
- Mary And Max
It's been a while since I updated my profile, so here's a new ID to go with my new username.
This BPD blob is going through something of a rough patch lately, so I apologize if I look a little down in this photo.
My face doesn't really smile much irl but I still try to keep smiling on the inside. It's really all you can do sometimes.
I've recently started therapy again so I wanted to photograph two therapy forms I find most fulfilling: art and music.
Shoutout to all my long-term watchers for supporting me and my work forever, I don't say it enough but I appreciate it.
Thank you for making this humble little artist feel supported and valued. I am thankful for every follow and fave I get.
(Fun fact: I am my little sketchbook I use to draw most of my Stickmens Series' doodles in.)

You're beautiful!
Also, sameeee. My face doesn't match my emotions so most of the time I look like a zombey

Thank you so much! Haha it's pretty common actually, but most people just have resting bitch face, not resting undead satanspawnΒ face. :')

I like the idea behind this, even though it would've been a nice new ID on it's own already.

I'm sorry to hear about your rough patch, hope things are getting better and brighter each day. The red in your fringe and sides of your hair are so vibrant I love the color. It blends nicely with the dark roots on the top fading down into the color. Β

Your welcome a little positivity goes a long way. Pass it on to other fellow DA users you think could use compliments and supportive words. Β

You're looking great even if you're not feeling it so much Hope the therapy helps, that lovely BPD gremlin can be exhausting (I've recently started counselling again to tackle mine). Sending good vibes your way

Long time to reply... Sorry: It's nice to be able to share some of the struggle with another, even if it's not nice that you're going through some of the same shiz <3

I am also grateful to share my experiences with people who have gone through similar struggles, it helps make us feel less alone I think~ so I agree~ ^^

Nooooo Riftresssssssssss
I saw this photo on top of your deviation stack and I was like,, that looks like riftress.. glanced at name- got confused- dreaded the essentially inevitable-- //ded
*when you envy someone's username then they go and change it (and you regret not telling them that you really like it before* <- this has happened to me many times >A < (I guess as well as some other people feeling it about me)~
Ah well, I guess everyone has fresh starts sometimes ;; but it's sad because the name is irretrievable + unique in so many ways qaq
Anyway, about this actual deviation:
I'm really glad you find the strength to smile even if it's on the inside <3 You deserve all our love and more Ames, ^^
I find music very expressful and art relaxing + therapeutic too >u< ~
Nice fun fact xD

What does "BPD" mean? Similar to TDA?
